14. A No-Sew Faux Roman Idea for the Kitchen Shades
Create stylish window shades in under 30 minutes for less than $30. Here’s what you’ll need: a yard of fabric, iron-on hem tape, and three tension rods.
Measure the window width and hem the sides of the fabric to fit without excess. Hem the top to allow for the tension rod to be inserted easily. Hang the first tension rod at the top, letting the fabric drape down.
Hang the second tension rod and fold the fabric over, resembling a Roman shade. Hang the third tension rod about six inches apart, repeating the fold. Adjust the width between the rods for your desired look.
Consider adding a fabric backing for a brighter kitchen or double the fabric if you have enough. Enjoy your stylish, budget-friendly faux Roman shades!
While this idea provides a quick and inexpensive solution, remember that it might not offer the same functionality as custom-made shades. Keep in mind the limitations of tension rods and the fabric’s durability. Adapt the concept to suit your specific needs and window dimensions. Happy shade-making!
